Ingredients
| 1 | teaspoons olive oil | |
| 2 | strips bacon, chopped | |
| 2 | cloves garlic, sliced | |
| 1 | tablespoon balsamic vinegar | |
| 10 | ounces fresh spinach leaves | |
| olive oil |
Instructions
Coat a medium skillet with the olive oil and fry the bacon over high heat until dark and crispy. Remove to a paper towel to drain.
Drain out all but about 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan. Turn the heat down to medium-low, and add the garlic. Sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar and allow to reduce slightly.
Add the spinach and a drizzle of olive oil and toss until the spinach is well coated and beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, top with the crispy bacon bits, and serve immediately.
